Although 116 birds live in the California wilderness, it is extremely rare for a mating to happen that is not being monitored by biologists, causing scientists to be surprised at the unannounced arrival of the bird.

A pair of ultra-endangered California condors have given birth to a baby, surprising — and delighting — experts who were not expecting the pair to mate outside of their monitoring.
